Psalms 98
1 A Melody. Sing to Yahweh, a song that is new, For, wonderful things, hath he done, His own right hand and his holy arm, have brought him salvation.
Sing to Yahweh a new song, because he has done wonderful things! By his power [MTY] and his great strength [DOU] he has defeated [his enemies].
2 Yahweh, hath made known, his salvation, Before the eyes of the nations, hath he revealed his righteousness;
Yahweh has declared to people that he has defeated his enemies; he has revealed that he has punished [them], and [people in] all the world have seen that he has done it.
3 He hath remembered his lovingkindness and his faithfulness towards the house of Israel, —All the ends of the earth, have seen, the salvation of our God.
Like he promised to us Israeli people [MTY], he has faithfully loved us and (been loyal to/not abandoned) us. [People who live] in very remote places in all the earth have seen that our God has defeated [his enemies].
4 Shout aloud to Yahweh, all the earth, Break forth and make a joyful noise and sweep the strings;
All you [people] [MTY] everywhere should sing joyfully to Yahweh; praise him while you sing and shout joyfully!
5 Sweep the strings to Yahweh, With the lyre, With the lyre, and the voice of melody;
Praise Yahweh while you play the lyres/harps, playing [delightful] music.
6 With trumpets and the sound of a horn, Shout aloud, before the king—Yahweh.
[Some of you should] blow trumpets and other horns, [while others] shout joyfully to Yahweh, [our] king.
7 Let the sea, roar, and the fulness thereof, The world, and they who dwell therein;
The oceans and all [the creatures] that are in the oceans should roar [to praise Yahweh]. Everyone on the earth should sing!
8 Let, the floods, clap their hands, Together, let, the mountains, make a joyful noise,
[It should seem as though] the rivers are clapping their hands [to praise Yahweh] and that the hills are singing together joyfully in front of Yahweh,
9 Before Yahweh, for he is coming—to judge the earth, —He will judge the world, in righteousness, And the peoples, with equity.
because he will come to judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth! He will judge [all] the people-groups [in the world] justly and fairly [DOU].
